It's not a huge store, but their inventory is great (my sister who's a stationery nerd recognized many known Japanese brands and said she could have shopped here for an hour or two if she had the chance). We got a mix of stickers, cards, and stamps. The store itself is also very aesthetically pleasing and well-organized. Wish we lived closer - would definitely stop by again next time we're in the area!

Located steps away from State Street and next door to Grassini Winery. You can expect to find gorgeous handmade ceramics, plants, art, decor, dried flowers and more! I ended up purchasing some incense, a beautiful ceramic vase, and a small box of matches with Frida on it. The incense was burning in the store, and the smell was so pleasant. It's charcoal based incense sticks and made with phthalate-free fine fragrance oil. Sourced from Los Angeles. The scent is Piñon and my new favorite. Jared kindly helped me during my visit. He mentioned that they can customize the dried floral arrangements upon request. They had some beautiful ones already made. I was lucky to have met Kevin, who was working on creating more beautiful pieces of handmade ceramics. I can't wait to see what else he made on my next visit. Overall, I'm so happy to see this small business up and running. Looking forward to coming back soon.

After seeing their first Yelp Review online (thanks Angela R for your words and photos), I knew I…read morehad to visit this new shop in the El Paseo. They have so much packed into their corner retail space, and with lots of personality sprinkled everywhere. As we walked by the large windows we were drawn in by this Ceramics and Plant Boutique . . . and with so much more. Thanks to Jared who was very welcoming and helped us navigate the different offerings. Handmade Ceramics (each one a work of art), Art Prints, Woven Baskets, Blankets, Books, Candles of all shapes and sizes, Cards, Garden Supplies, Driftwood pieces, Glassware, and beautiful plants, both Succulents and dried floral arrangements. We found a basket of match books at the register, and realized they are ideal for their offerings of Sage (moving energy out), and Palo Santo (moving energy in). I was instantly drawn to the prints and illustrations by Lady Kady Art of Arizona, and look forward to starting my own collection. And truly a shop with gift ideas for everyone. Was also happy with the reasonable pricing for some incredibly artful items. Located in the El Paseo, and right next to the Grassini Family Vineyards tasting room patio.

We love coming to this arts & crafts fair every time we're in Santa Barbara. It's located on…read moreCabrillo Blvd, west of Stearns Wharf. There's tons of handmade treasures by local artisans. There's beautiful paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptures, pottery, photography, jewelry and more. Our favorite was YIN PING ZHENG, he specializes in traditional Chinese brush painting & calligraphy. His paintings were AMAZING! They were very affordable, all originals, even the small ones. They're made with watercolors on rice paper. He demonstrated an art piece for us, he had so much control, he made it look so easy. We ended buying 2 vertical paintings of plum blossoms which included frames. He was so humble, nice & friendly, he even offered for us to sit & he let a lady sit & wait for her daughter to pick her up. Make sure you drop by to say hi & check out his art pieces!!

On a cloudy Sunday morning, I stumbled upon Santa Barbara Arts and Craft Show on Cabrillo…read moreBoulevard. The show starts just after the boardwalk and lines the Cabrillo Blvd. I learned that this show is every Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. The show features arts and crafts including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, pottery and more. It was a delight to talk to the artist about their work in a very causal setting. Truly some unique pieces of art can be found at this show. Definitely worth a stroll if you are in town and heading to the beach. Parking can be found on Cabrillo Blvd or in the public parking areas. Note summertime can be very busy and tough for parking.

I love this store! I bought shells, jewelry and although I went into buy 1 item I came out with 2 bags full. It was wonderful shopping here because it was right on the Pier in Santa Barbara and the atmosphere was laidback, everyone talked to each other not knowing them. The weather was great ! The prices were comparable to other shops selling the same merchandise. The shop isn't very large but he fit everything in so that it did not look cramped or junky. I love this store!

Staff was very helpful in making sure I didn't miss anything.

GETTING HERE:…read more Navigate to the address listed on Yelp. It's located across the street from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in DTSB. REVIEW: I stumbled upon Paradise Found as I was trying to find parking in downtown SB. I am so thankful to have found it! I love stores like this; when I enter I feel a sense of peace and relief. I feel like I can breathe. Books galore. Many, many books! I love the books! I observed they offer psychic readings, although I am unclear if that's P.C. in 2026? Please forgive me if I am mistaken. Various items for sale, stickers and candles, etc. There was one quiet employee working behind the counter. I think she smiled at me, if that. But, I definitely welcomed that energy shift when I entered the store. I am looking forward to going back! I definitely recommend a visit. Thanks!
